thats really beautiful, can sand like that be obtained at home depot or lowes or somethin of that sort?

You betcha!!
Thats where I've got mine before.
 
What ever sand you use, I havn't used the pool sand personally (but I might have to give it a try...), but I know with the play sand you should wash it first. REALLY WELL. As is true with any substrate. But sand especially.

You probably already know this, but sand is a MUST for Bichirs.
 
I never rinse the pool filter sand, I probably should......but its never been dirty. I've even dumped the sand in after the tank was full and the water wasnt cloudy for more than a few hours.
